Chapter 2838 - 4: Cheap!

"Wow, I’ve seen these energy stones outside, just beyond a light screen. The price for just one is more than ten times what it is here. Just separated by one light screen, and the price is ten times cheaper? And it seems like you can even haggle..."

Jia Yan saw a type of energy stone, and he even considered using it as his primary source of mutating energy, but ultimately gave it up because the energy wasn’t up to standard.

The price of this energy stone is ten times more outside than what is marked here.

Yet here, it’s just one-tenth, and you can even haggle...

You should know, Jia Yan considered using it as his mutating energy, and although he abandoned the idea in the end, it proves just how useful this energy stone is.

"It’s clear that the supplies here are indeed different from the outside world. The prices for energy stones and energy mines here are much cheaper than outside."

After watching for a while, Jia Yan’s face turned peculiar.

It was known that the Central Starfield of the Milky Way is a Holy Land for cultivation, with many strong individuals.

But after truly entering this place, he finally understood the vast difference between here and the outside world.

The main difference lies in how cheap the supplies are here.

When supplies are cheap, the probability of cultivating strong individuals increases.

Of course, the only reason for cheap supplies is that items considered gems or treasures outside are almost everywhere here.

"Is the reason for this situation because the energy is too concentrated here? Or is it because there are many stars, and thus interstellar resources are abundant?"

Jia Yan thought about these questions, but he eventually concluded that several reasons exist; otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a stark difference just separated by a light screen.

However, the biggest reason...

Jia Yan’s avatar slightly raised his head, looking at the light screen that seemed to cut the heavens and earth apart...

On this planet, you can see a small portion of the light screen.

It’s more terrifying than stars and covers the entire heaven and earth.

"Haha, even the galaxy center, like my Orion Arm, has extremely terrifying strong ones who control the heavens and earth."

Jia Yan sighed.

Regarding this, he had some doubts because he didn’t think he was the only one who believed that light screen was created by strong ones.

On this planet, Jia Yan lingered for quite a while.

He wasn’t just looking at the local price levels; more often, he was collecting information.

"No internet, no library; is this because they want to limit the general public’s knowledge of the Central Starfield of the Milky Way?"

Jia Yan came to understand why the outside world knew so little about the Milky Way Central Starfield.

Because here, communication and the internet are too difficult.

It is estimated that there might be universal technology forces or Starry Sky, but at least here, there is no internet, nor any place like a library.

If you don’t speak up or look at many strong individuals, Jia Yan would suspect that this is actually a relatively backward Starry Sky.

"Speaking of which, it does feel a bit backward, doesn’t it? Actually, backwardness and advancement are relative. Even if they let the people living here go out and live a better life outside, they probably wouldn’t want to leave."

In a place with an excellent reputation and where one can quickly enhance their strength, even creatures without much talent would probably not want to leave.

"Hmm?"

As Jia Yan continued strolling down the street, he suddenly froze.

Because he sensed that ahead on his path, there was a creature that also appeared to be a dignitary, smiling and standing at the street corner.

The reason he froze was not because of the opponent’s sovereign level strength.

But because he sensed the presence of a friendly yet terrifying strength emanating from the other.

Galaxy Level.

Like Jia Yan, this was an avatar of a Galaxy Level existence.

On this planet, there was only that one Galaxy Level...

"Have you already discovered me? Hello, Your Excellency, I didn’t intend to disturb you."

Jia Yan also smiled.

At least within their essence, he didn’t feel any intention to harm him.

Moreover, he felt that the other’s strength was at the Middle Level of the Galaxy, suggesting there might be some gap compared to him.

So Jia Yan maintained a casual demeanor, showing no signs of worry.

It seemed this Galaxy Level individual had a similar attitude, or perhaps we should say they had confidence in their own strength.

Of course, confidence is not a reason to start a fight. In the universe, Galaxy Level powerhouses generally dislike combat. When one reaches such a powerful existence, fighting and killing becomes uninteresting.

"Hello, Your Excellency, I noticed you’ve been observing on my planet for a while and figured you might need the assistance of a local, so I came to serve you."

"Having a Galaxy Level existence serve me, I am indeed a bit flattered."

Hearing the other’s words, Jia Yan felt his wariness fading even more.

This was an extremely commercialized planet, and evidently, as the master or governor of the planet, this Galaxy Level individual was likely filled with business acumen as well.

They had known he had arrived but didn’t appear intentionally, probably wanting to see if this Galaxy Level existence was looking to make a business transaction.

Seeing that Jia Yan, after wandering for some time, hadn’t made any commercial inquiries, this Galaxy Level figure must have felt that a transaction between Galaxy Levels might interest him, hence their appearance.

"Both the same, Your Excellency, although my planet is a decent border star, the last time a Galaxy Level existence came was half a month ago."

Half a month...

Jia Yan noted this in his mind.

Having one Galaxy Level existence arrive every half month was considered infrequent from their perspective.

So, on a more prosperous planet, wouldn’t Galaxy Levels be a daily sight?

If the strong ones outside heard of this, they would be utterly astonished.

After all, in the outside world, you might not encounter several of your own strength level in a lifetime, but here, running into them daily would be terrifying...

"Actually, I’m just here for a stroll. Your Excellency, if you’re hoping to conduct a transaction with me, you might be disappointed."

Jia Yan laughed heartily, not daring to admit he was here for a transaction.

During his mutations, he had exhausted many of his resources. If he truly intended to trade, he lacked the foundation.

To avoid the awkwardness of being entertained for nothing and not purchasing anything, leading to conflict, as a newcomer Galaxy Level from outside, he would undoubtedly suffer.

Don’t be fooled by Jia Yan thinking he can handle this Middle Level Galaxy presence; he does not underestimate the beings of the Milky Way Central Starfield. Moreover, the other was likely a creature of some force, and whether stronger beings in that force exist is uncertain. Jia Yan would not stir up trouble.

"Oh? So you’re just here to look around. No worries, feel free to look around. Please allow me to be frank, Your Excellency, is this your first time visiting the Central Starfield of the Milky Way? I received reports from my subordinates that a Star River Intermediate Lord who claims to be an ’assassin’ has come to our side at the light screen they oversee. Could it be that you are the ’assassin’, Your Excellency?"

The other accompanied Jia Yan forward, yet casually revealed Jia Yan’s origins in conversation.

"..."

Jia Yan remained silent for a moment before slightly shaking his head: "Indeed, I am the assassin. Your subordinates are quite diligent, aren’t they? It hasn’t been long, and the information has already reached your hands."

Jia Yan was indeed a bit surprised because from here to the other side of the light screen was approximately half a light year. He had rushed to get here using the Adisa’s tenth-degree subspace navigation capability, and it hadn’t taken long. If not for some unique communication method, the other’s information should not have been transmitted this fast.
